Emily's Nightmare_41
Emily's Pov
Matt and I raced to the car as the rain started to fall harder. I was laughing by the time Matt managed to finally unlock the doors and we slid in. "Just our luck, huh?" I asked him, turning to look at him. Matt's hair was soaked, droplets of water dripping off his brown curls. He nodded, causing water to fall of his hair.
"Just as I was about to win that bear too," he grinned. I laughed, thinking how unclose he was to getting that marble into the bottles. "Hey now," he said as he started the car, "Are you doubting my abilities?" I shook my head, sending my wet ponytail to spray water everywhere.
"Not at all," I told him as we went down the road. "So what's the plan now?" It was still pretty early. We hadn't been at the carnival for more than an hour before rain had unexpectantly started falling. Hopefully it wouldn't be more than a small fall rain.
"Well we're definitely heading back to your house," Matt said, turning onto the road that led to the only house in the forest. "Not only is it closer, but I'm sure your folks would want you back incase this is a storm."
"In other words your afraid of my brothers," I pointed out. Matt laughed a little, his eyes on the road.
"Only a little," he admitted. I huffed slightly. "Hey that's okay though," he assured me. "I'd be crazy not to be slightly intimidated by them. Like Emmett." I couldn't help but laugh.
"You've been practicing that. I can tell, but I think Emmett will like you more for it," I figured. "Or at least he won't think your too cocky."
"I am not cocky," Matt argued, though I could see the mischevious look in his eyes. "Too much anyway." I laughed. I wrapped his jacket around me, shivering slightly from the wet and cold. "You okay?" Matt asked, concerned. I wonder how he saw me shiver, if he suppsively had his eyes on the road. "Too cold in here?"
"No, the cars' fine," I assured him before he started playing with the dials of the AC. "Just cold from the rain. I can't believe it started falling so quickly." We pulled up to the driveway of my house and even in the dark and the rain I could make the slight outline of someone waiting for us at the door holding an umbrella. "Looks like they were waiting for us," I couldn't help but mumbled.
Matthew parked the car and looked over at me. "Em," he started, "What's up?" he asked me. I looked at him confused, because I didn't know what he was referring too. "It seems like lately you've been down on your family. You used to be so close, but now it just seems like they're a gap between you guys." I shrugged, because I really didn't know what to say. I knew what he was referring to, but I didn't know why it was like. I just know that one day, it just wasn't the same.
"I don't know," I said, looking out the window and unlocking the car door. "They're just so, overbearing these days." I told him, which was true. Matthew leaned over took my hand, making me look over at him.
"I know siblings can get a little bossy sometimes, but there's usually a reason. They're just a little stressed, from everything that's been happening the last couple weeks. They're just a little worried about their baby sis, so give them a little break," Matt told me as he stroked my fingers with his hand. "How about we go inside and watch a movie?" he offered. "It could be a ridiculus movie about vampires," he said, grinning knowing those kinds of movies made me laugh. I couldn't help but grin a little bit.
"Fine, but there will be some hard laughter doing the vampire parts, just to make them upset a little," I told him, smiling. I hadn't noticed how close we'd gotten until I could feel his breathing and smell his sweet pine scent. And then I felt his lips on mine and the night was instantly better.
I don't know how long we where there, kissing. It could have been seconds, or minutes but long enough for whoever had been standing at the door to flash a light at us, turning it off and on. Matt pulled back, despite my small protest, chuckling slightly. "I think we're being waited on," he said, turning the car off. "Come on Emy, let's get inside." He got out, while I zipped up the jacket and made his way around the car, opening the door for me. "My lady," he grinned, holding out his hand for me as the rain started to fall even harder. I surpressed a laugh and got all regal.
"Thank you gentle sir," I said, resting my hand lightly on his. When I'd been younger and going through my Victorian Era phase, I begged Rosalie to teach me how to be a lady. Of course, she eventually gave in and taught me everything she could remember; let me tell you, backboards are a pain. So I knew how to play this part as I gently arose off from the car. I placed my hand lightly on his arm and we walked across the lawn like we had all the time in the world and rain wasn't pouring down on us.
"About time," Alice huffed as we finally reached the door where she stood with an umbrella.
"A lady never runs," I told her as I took my hand off Matt's arm and turned to him. "Thank you for escorting me to the door," I said while I curtsied. Matt took a step back and bowed at the waist.
"It was my pleasure, Lady Emily. I only hope that I will be able to escort you again," He said, playing along. Alice rolled her eyes, though she smiled a little.
"Alright you two, stop playing around. It's raining rabbits and squirrels, and you're soaking wet," Alice pointed out to the clothes that were beginning to cling to our bodies. "And you'll give Esme a fit if you catch a cold," she reminded me as she turned to open the door. Matt came up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist and I looked up at him.
"She's right," he said, looking down at me with a smile. "We should keep close, have the body heat keeps us warm," he told me in a rather cocky way. "You're a very good lady by the way."
"Why thank you," I grinned back. "But you better keep that body heat excuse locked up in your head. Don't want to give them a reason to gang up on you again," I warned him, then just because it would probably be the last time I could it, I gave him a quick kiss. Matt just grinned a little more and looked up as Alice cleared her throat.
"I think it be best if you stayed the night," she said, stepping into the house. That request surprised both Matt and I and we just looked at her, following her into the house. "It's going to start storming really soon," she said, closing the door behind her. "The roads will be too hard to drive in and it would be irresponsible of us to let you even try." This of course, made me smile even wider. Alice, unlike Mindy Sea who was channel 2's head weather lady, was never wrong about the weather. As if to prove a point, a loud thunder clap erupted. "I've already called your parents, and they agree and have allowed you stay the night. Esme is elated that there's finally a reason to use the guest room."
I looked at her, impressed. "And everyone else is?" I asked, noticing no one had come down to greet us. Alice grinned widely.
"Playing baseball of course," she announced. "I'm heading up to meet them. You can tag along if you want." I shook my head. "That's what I thought. Fresh clothes for both of you are in the hamper. You know how to set the wash," she said and disappeared outside again.
"So your family plays baseball in the rain?" Matt asked. I grinned, taking his hand and leading him towards our laundry room.
"I'll explain it to you later."
Christopher's POV
I watch from hiding places in bushes. I watch as the smallest gold eyed one run quickly, away from house towards the trees. I grin, since this make me job easier when filth and mistake are alone. I going out from my hiding place and I walk around house, going in behind back way. I know where everything is now and I walk across hall and upstairs, knowing they cannot hear me, for I am invisible to them. They so weak compared to me, my Master told me that so I am not worried as I go into the bedrooms and do my job.
I hear them speaking, coming up again and I know I must hurry out. I go and jump out window and run away, back to my hiding place. It is good that the rain come, for they will never be able to track me. Even if they find that I walk into house, it does not matter. My Master told me that my first job was to keep them separated. That is what I do correctly. My Master will be so glad.
A/N: I know! Two in a week, what has gotten into me? Well, school is officially over and I plan to finish this and my other series THIS summer. It will be done, that's the plan.
Sooooo a little fluff scene. I decided not to do the actual date since it would take away from the actual story. I'll probably write it after I've finished the story, and add it as a new one chapter story. I see the rest of the story in my mind, so be expecting more updates, more quickly. It'll be great.
Alright guys, please review! Flames I love, Love I love. Just a sign that you read and responded to this story would be great!
